This is our first LODD from gunfire in 9 years. She had two kids and her husband is a Ranger in the same park. The shooter is still at large.

Dying of exposure is a pretty easy out for him. But I'll take it.

To bad he died from exposure. Extreme ventilation would have been better.

Thoughts are with her family, may she RIP.

I find great justice in the fact that the place she protected took care of her attacker in a very cold way. Exposure is not a good way to go. RIP Margaret, we'll think of you often.
